Major hotel brands are expanding their offerings to include vacation rental properties, providing new options for large groups and families.
Platforms like Airbnb and Vrbo have long been popular choices for group travel accommodations, offering multi-bedroom rentals that are often more comfortable and cost-effective than traditional hotel rooms. However, concerns have been raised about high fees and unreliable hosts on peer-to-peer rental sites.
Despite these challenges, the demand for short-term rentals continues to grow. According to a report from AirDNA, demand for short-term rentals increased by 7% in 2024 and is projected to rise by 4.9% in 2025.
Recognizing this trend, major hotel chains like Hilton, Hyatt, and Marriott have introduced their own vacation rental properties.
For example, Hilton Hotels & Resorts recently partnered with Evermore Orlando Resort, a vacation rental complex offering hundreds of rental units with resort-level services.
Evermore Orlando Resort features a variety of rental options, from two-bedroom apartments to 11-bedroom homes, all designed for weeklong vacations. The properties come with family-friendly features like bunk rooms and slides, along with resort amenities like an artificial beach, golf courses, and on-site dining.
While these hotel-affiliated vacation rentals can be pricier than traditional rentals, they offer a more reliable and secure option for travelers seeking group accommodations.
